Ripping out about 700W carrier this evening.  It's the transformer I'm keeping an eye on, the tubes I'm okay with, I think.

0213 Band running long now at only S7. Earlier the signal was S9+20.
0249 Now down to S4-5. Interesting to see the band deteriorate for what I suspect is more local to me.

still a carrier and something musical-like at 02:45 after what I assumed was a sign-off.  s5 or so.
